D in AP Calculus AB?!?!?!

Applying to College
1

<p>I think I have a D as my final grade in AP Calc AB and my school runs on a block schedule so this will be the grade on my transcript and midyear school reports.</p>

<p>I have already been accepted into 3 schools but none of which I want to attend.</p>

<p>Last year, I got 2 C’s overall- my lowest grades so far.</p>

<p>How bad will this D hurt me ??</p>

<p>Might be more helpful if you post your gpa, scores, etc. and what schools you’re worried about.</p>

3

<p>GPA: 3.6 W
SAT: 1900/2400
RANK: top 20%</p>

<ol>
<li>UVA</li>
<li>W&M</li>
<li>VA TECH</li>
<li>UMD</li>
</ol>

<p>are you in va…cause if your not then thats not lookin great…dont know bout the other 3</p>

5

<p>Could be a problem. Any extenuating circumstances?</p>

6

<p>“my school runs on a block schedule so this will be the grade on my transcript”</p>

<p>How does having a block schedule have any affect?</p>

<p>beefs, i am in va.</p>

<p>zuma, i had to pick up a part-time job to help out the family but other than that… no.</p>

<p>christalena2, because i only have 4 classes this semester and no other ones. the D will be one of the 4 grades so it will look worse, imo.</p>

8

<p>ohhh, I see. </p>

<p>Sorry about your grade! I hope everything works out.</p>

9

<p>why did you apply to three schools you don’t want to go to? just wondering</p>

10

<p>citygirlsmom, safeties or matches that i was interested in before when i applied but not anymore.</p>

11

<p>Does UVA require midterm transcripts or just after you senior year? If they do require midterms, best of luck. I could see them pulling your acception.</p>

12

<p>Def. looking very bad for UVA.
I have no idea about the others. but UVA…unless you’re an albino Native American from a tribe that is all but extinct…well you get my drift.</p>

13

<p>gstein, yes UVA requires midterm transcripts.</p>

<p>xerxesOiM, i figured…</p>

14

<p>Don’t let them see it. Really. A person several years back got their admission rescinded from Stanford with a D in AP Calculus and ended up going to UCLA. </p>

<p>It’s sort of a legend because he was that last person to get accepted to a top 5 college from our school.</p>

15

<p>but you HAVE to send it to them, that’s the problem…</p>

<p>i say make up an excuse…a VERY VERY good one</p>

16

<p>etti, I have a reason for the low grade so I just have to write the letter and send them off.</p>

<p>Thanks for all the replies!</p>
